WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26-Despit
the wish of the president and of the mem
bers Of both houses Of congress to avOi,
the necessity for called session of the tw,
houses or 81 eciaI session of the senate, tn,
opinion is entertained today that matter
in respect to appropriation bills are rapidly
drifting into position, if indeed they have
not already reached it. which makes &
called session inevitable. Mr.. Allison
says that in all his service in both houses
he has never known such state OF back
wardness in regard to appropriation bills,
and for this condition of things he declares
that neitf er the senate nor its committee
on appropriations is in any way response
ble
Mr. Beck, a member of the senate ap-
preparation committee declares his belief
that it will be impossible during the re-
naming DAVIS of this session TO finish the
appropriation bills.
The matter of appointments and confir-
nations contritnte 10 the influence which
may produce called session. Opinions
respecting the presidents power to appoint
interstate commerce commissioners during
recess of the senate are widely variant.
Messrs. Edmunds, Pugh, Harris and other
senators of prominence, declare without
qualifications that the president has no
shadow of constitutional or legal right to
fill an office newly created when the senate
is not in session To give its advice and con
sect; that his power in the matters is limi-
ted To filling vacancies temporarily which
Eiay happen during recess. 1t is held that

draw salaries or legally perform any duties.

THE VETO MILL STILL A-GOING.
The president has vetoed the bill for q
public building at Portsmouth, Ohio. He
says that if it is absolutely impossible to do |
the public business in the building now oc-
cupied, which does not appear to be
claimed, there can be no difficulty in secur
ing in this enterprising city adequate ac
.commodaiious at rent not largely in ex-
cess of tnal at present paid. Upon the
whole it does not appear as n business pro
position that the building proposed should
be undertaken.
